A North neighborhood bar existence if threatened by over zealous neighbors of the area in Chicago known as Lake view. It appears there will be a referendum whether the bar named Tai's til 5 will be allowed on this busy e business deprived street in Chicago;s North side and the war on taverns and bar continues in Blue cities. I once wrote a book how Chicago lost thousands and thousands of neighborhood bars and taverns and how this is a globalist plot to spread more unnecessary ethnic restaurant a d chain eateries in large cities and in Chicago the number of taverns and bars dropped form over three thousand in 1990 to 1200 today and the bars around Chicago continue to face pressure and attack on their existence.
Tais has been at the same spot since 1961 and survived gentrification of Wigleyville and West Lakeview but is appear neighbor are tired of this 4 am bar a d after a recent late night shooting back in February a drive was done to make the area dry. I have long predicted we are in a new prohibition era and the drive to outlaw drinking establishment sis in full effect thanks to Covid. Alderman Tom Tunny has come out against this referendum warning that other business operators that might want restaurants along the Southport Avenue corridor might not be able to serve alcohol and he strongly disagreed with this dry proposal b some members of the neighborhood. The current residents in Lakeview area wishing to destroy the long tradition of bar sin the area that made it hip to begin with and it was these unique business and trendy looking area that gentrified this area and was a magnet and not a boring baseball team contrary to th long held illusion and thoght. More closures and lock downs of this area will return Lakeview and Wrigley into the shit hole it was in the seventies when the Latin Eagles ruled the area and gangs were so infesting this neighborhood it was indistinguishable to Back of the Yards neighborhood ion the South Side of Chicago.
